Sablle's Cross Country Report, Part V


Hey there,

Sablle again! This weekend was a really successful weekend for the Sonoma State cross country team. Our athletic sport is generally overlooked by most of the population, but for this race we had our chance to travel and get recognition. We flew out on Thursday to San Bernardino
for the CCAA Championships. The first day we found out when we ran that it is very very dry in San Bernardino which is definitely a change in weather for our team but come race day our team came through. We hydrated a great amount the days before our races because it is was greatly needed for this weather.

As far as the course goes it was awesome in my opinion. It was not repetitive which most races have been this year and it went by pretty fast while also having a beautiful view of this regional park. Come race day our team felt ready to run but it was very nerve racking since it was such a large race. Everybody competed at their best and did great. This trip was a lot of fun for our team and we are looking forward to next years CCAA Championships as well.

This week we are leaving on Thursday to the finest city in the world, San Diego. This is the race many of us have been looking forward to because it is in San Diego and we are traveling pretty far. This race is our last race of the season and pretty exciting for our team to compete with such a variety of teams. This meet we are racing our top seven women on the team with one alternate, so it is a run for the race right now between some girls. We have lost our number two runner Jacqui Trenkwalder. But, that just means our team has to try that much harder. I really believe in our top seven girls for this race and I know we will go to San Diego and perform.

Until next time,
Young Sablle
